It’s impossible to know who or what is behind the constant flow of disinformation on electric transportation, e.g., the graphic at left. Big Oil? QAnon? Other right-wing, anti-environmentalist groups?
In any case, I have a friend who’s been telling me since were teenagers 50 years ago, that EVs only move the source of the emissions from the vehicle to the power plant. Of course, he also told me, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” Yes, he’s given to the types of slogans one encounters on Fox News and the like.
In truth, the phasing out of fossil fuels in our energy and transportation sectors is a boon to our environment, and our efforts to mitigate climate change in particular. This has been shown in hundreds of peer-reviewed studies spanning several decades. Here’s a piece from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency debunking myths on the subject.
I have bad news for the young (32 years junior to her husband) ex-press secretary shown here (bad pic btw):
You’ve run out of people who a) are stupid enough to believe any of this, and b) even if they did believe it, many would not vote to keep Republicans in office after having enabled Trump to rape our nation.
As bad as our economy is, Democrats will make it worse?
Again, even the idiots are losing their patience with this garbage.
Truck drivers are spending large amounts of their own money to drive into traffic-ridden Washington D.C., flying American flags, the banner that has been usurped by the MAGA right, to protest Trump’s nonsensical war in Iran that has pushed diesel prices through the roof.
Hmmm. I’m suspicious.
At left we see yet one more reminder of the disaster taking place in the United States.
Our Founding Fathers made huge sacrifices for us, and we’ve seen fit to elect an insane dictator to run roughshod over our beloved Constitution.
We hear that democracies do not descend into authoritarian regimes overnight. That’s true, but what’s happened here has been quite rapid indeed.
